Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Codar is the ability to provide us with faster application releases."
"For DevOps, this tool is one of the best with all its integration capabilities for repositories and various systems."
"Automated deployment forces the organization to standardize runtimes, development output and handling of platform provisioning."
"UrbanCode Deploy has really transformed the way we do code deployment, connecting development and operations more closely."
"Customer Service: Perfect. IBM has one of the best customer services."
"It is very easy to make a software release. It used to take us at least a couple of hours to make a release, now we went to production with a new one last night. This new release took me five minutes."
"The stability is good. I haven't experienced any issues."
"The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts."
 

Cons

"Codar works well enough, but it's highly complex in setting up correctly."
"There have been a lot of broken stoppages in uDeploy 6.1.2, particularly in the upgrade."
"In our implementation, we created 16 PMR for this product. 15 of them were solved."
"The solution is stable. When multiple deployment jobs are triggered at once, the solution logs the second job until the first is completed. This could impact performance or progress because the solution gets stuck in a holding pattern."
"Its reliability has been a little suspect, and one of our frustrations has been that it's taken them some time to focus on fixing that problem."
"The reporting functionality is limited and it is difficult to retrieve information from the database due to the table structure."
"There are also many bugs in UrbanCode Deploy."
"I think that the IBM support team needs to be more proactive in their responses to PMR tickets raised by customers."
"The technical support of the solution could definitely be improved as PMRs take a long to resolve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost of the solution is high but it offers great ROI."

"Considering COVID-19, the price is too high."
